Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year at college – keeping her head down and focussing on work. But when her roommate Allison is assaulted at a party Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay.

When police start investigating the spate of local deaths, Scarlett starts to realise it’s only a matter of time before her secret life is exposed and everything she’s built comes crashing down with it…

Booklist
A fierce, feminist suspense… Spectacular and propulsive
Samantha M. Bailey
Darkly hypnotic and intensely compulsive. This is a psychological thriller of the highest order, a story that seeps into your thoughts like blood through floorboards
Criminal Element
Deliciously satisfying… The feminist revenge thriller we need and deserve
Megan Collins
A gorgeously-written ragestorm of a thriller…will shock readers as much as it satisfies them
Wendy Heard
They Never Learn is deliciously dark, razor-sharp, and unapologetically wrong in all the right ways. Layne Fargo crafts a story that feels like sweet revenge and brutal justice all wrapped up in one delicious gulp. A must-read for anyone who believes in women’s wrongs as much as I do
